Tree Trimming notice
In order to ensure safe and efficient travel along Township owned roads, it has become necessary for the township to trim back vegetation. The Highway Department will be conducting trimming operations to clear vegetation up to the edge of the roadways and to a height of 14 feet within the Township’s right of ways. This trimming is essential to maintain visibility, ensure road safety, and facilitate proper maintenance of our public thoroughfares.
We understand that many of you take pride in the landscaping around your properties. Therefore, we are providing this notification in advance. If you have vegetation that extends into the township's right-of-way and you prefer to manage its trimming yourself, please do so. This project has no official start date but is intended to begin sometime late in September, early October. Please ensure that all vegetation is trimmed back at minimum to the edge of the roadway within this timeframe to avoid having it trimmed by township personnel.
It is important to note that failure to trim vegetation within the designated timeframe may result in the township trimming it back as per our maintenance schedule. We encourage everyone to take proactive steps to comply with this notification to avoid any inconvenience, frustration or disruption.

leaf collection
South Londonderry Township will not be doing leaf collection in 2024 due to supply chain issues in recieving the leaf vac machine. We were recently notified that the leaf machine would not arrive until August 2025. We are hopeful to still be able to do a Fall cleanup in 2025. Those dates and details will be announced in the future. Thank you for your patience as we continue to struggle with supply chain issues.
